Auger jammed yesterday, upon tearing it apart, found a 2" nail in the auger. Anyone venture a guess how a nail gets into a bag of high quality Turman pellets? What a pain in the ass getting to the bottom nut of the feed motor by the way,
 
Hey, at least it didn't burn out the motor, still sucks though especially if you are having really cold weather like us. You would think the manufacturer would run the pellets past a strong magnet to prevent this.
